I have a linear gradient with red at the top going to white at the bottom in my footer CSS. I want the gradient to be the width of the display without black margins to the left and right. I have similar code in my header markup for a solid red line that does not have black margins.
CSS
body { font-family: Arial; background-color: $black; width: 100%; font-size: 18px; margin:0 auto; }
footer, header { font-family: Eurostile; padding-top: 15px; margin:0 auto; .row { .row-col-img-padding { [class*="col-"] { padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; } } } }
footer {
color: $gray; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-size: 90%; line-height: 100%; a { color: $bluedark; }
background: red;
background: linear-gradient($red, $white);
background: -khtml-linear-gradient($red, $white);
background: -moz-linear-gradient($red, $white);
background: -ms-linear-gradient($red, $white);
background: -o-linear-gradient($red, $white);
background: -webkit-linear-gradient($red, $white);
}
header { background-color: $black; p { color: $grayLight; font-weight: bold; font-size: 100%; line-height: 100%; } }
CSS for solid line in header where the red line fills up the screen with no margins.
#back-red { background-color: $red; padding-bottom: 15px; }

The images below shows how my CSS works at widths 500px and 320px. The links and the images are using CSS .footer-links. They spread to the edge of the screen but the gradient does not.
CSS below
.footer-links { width: 1024px; padding-top: 10px; a { padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; } }
@media screen and (max-width: 1024px) { body, footer, header, .box-message, .footer-links, .page-class, .red-line-1px { max-width: 100%; } }
Since the header and footer are within body I assume my problem is with the gradient width. I have seen many posts related to linear gradients and widths but I could not find anything that explained exactly how I need to change my CSS to get this working.
Bootstraps .container-fluid
rule looks like this
{margin-right:auto;margin-left:auto;padding-left:15px;padding-right:15px}
So for your footer
to work, you could do like this, where the major change is to add a wrapper <div class="row">
and then remove the row
class from
<div class="row-col-img-padding">
, and then set the gradient on the wrapper
